Felt like a hostel rather than a resort

Our host was lovely and very attentive. The resort seems more like a hostel, very basic facilities and small. The bathroom is very small, you cannot bend over in the shower. The location is stunning.

Be aware of your bookings on where your suite is. Very loud, over looking the parking lot, near highway. My suite was run down, stairs right beside, people above with family. Didn’t even stay for full booking.

We arrived aroud 9pm. It was pouring rain and dark. Could not find our unit number (28). After stumbling around in the dark up and down 3 flights of stairs had to contact the host who then said the unit was tucked between units 14 and 16 because it was built later and placed out of sequence. This should have been communicated more clearly to avoid confusion. There is a unit right over top of this one and guests comimg and going were quite loud. There were no parking spaces available so the host suggested we park next door. Again, pouring rain and late in the evening this was most inconvenient. The shower stall was tiny and the rainfall shower head was huge so you could not get away from the flow of water. Went from hot to cold on the shower dial by barely touching it. Otherwise was a cute unit and was right next to the Wild Pacific Trail.

Small but stylish space. Bed and sofa bed quite comfortable. Communication with the owner/manager very timely, useful and friendly. Terrace beach is good for watching sunset, nearby Little Beach is sandy and good for a chilly swim; according to a book also ok for snorkeling, but i only saw one crab. The resort is surrounded by walking trails in old forest by the coast. Short drive necessary to get to any shopping or restaurants. Overall an enjoyable place to stay!

Awesome escape!

We had a great time, the cabin is right next to the path to the beach where we could paddle board and explore for shells and rocks. The owner was very responsive to any questions or concerns and was able to resolve them effectively. Thank you for a great first adventure with vrbo.

HOUSE ON STILTS

This suite is lovely. It is comfortable and fully equipped and very clean. It is located next to Terrace Beach and close to everything. It was environmentally conscious with refillable shampoo and conditioner-and a fully equipped kitchen (no disposables) and recycling was a available. We had a wonderful stay.

Nice studio off gorgeous terrace beach!

The host was very responsive anytime I asked a question and the management was very very helpful anytime we needed anything! The only thing I would note there is not a microwave in this suite. This location gives you direct access to the wild pacific trail and to terrace beach, which was amazing! Thank you very much. 😊

It's a Tight Package

We arrived to a toasty warm unit, complete with fireplace and dishes to feed your pet. This is a compact well designed area. As two seniors we found the space adequate, a bit squeezy at night when we folded down the sofa bed. There is a generous supply of paper items, dishes and pots, even foil and clear wrap and some spices. There is a hot plate for heating up meals. There are a few measured helpings of coffee for the French press (supplied). If you are a coffee lover bring loose coffee to use the 12 cup coffee maker. The sheets are cosy jersy to warm your body and the towels are high quality cotton. There is a generous supply of comforters and pillows. The shower features some classy tiles. Heat is easy and convenient with the baseboard heaters and the fireplace stove. It never gets hot on the top, but generates warmth from a fan driven base. This is very convenient when you come in from the damp. This unit provides space to do all the essentials of living, though it will help if you are organized. Lots of cupboard space for a party of 4. If you are bringing lots of supplies and the inevitable kitchen sink, there are trolleys to easily get your essentials to your unit. The beach is easily accessed from this unit, maybe 100 yards down the hill through the old growth forest. The wireless was easy and reliable. Lots of tv channels. We had a small technical problem which was resolved by the host within 5 minutes.

Lovely stay

Clean and functional accommodations, loved the pet dishes and towels for our pooches! Room could have benefitted from some soft lighting instead of the bright ceiling lights and the pillows were quite lumpy.
